About About the place

Kosugidani Bridge is a remarkable series of railroad bridges traversing a rugged river valley. The bridges are characterized by their narrow tracks and, in many sections, a lack of side railings, creating a thrilling yet potentially hazardous walk. The path follows the former railway line, offering stunning views of the rapids and large boulders below. While the initial portion of the walk can be challenging due to walking directly on the rail ties, wooden planks are added for the majority of the route, improving stability. The experience is known for the thundering sounds of the river and the dramatic scenery.

Best for

Best season

Spring and autumn offer pleasant weather and beautiful foliage.

Best time to visit

Weekdays are generally less crowded than weekends. Morning or late afternoon offer the best light for photography and avoid the midday heat.
